Definitions

  • One known payment system is designed so that the person parking a vehicle draws the cashcard through a card reader in the pay meter, wherewith the pay meter stores the number of the cash card and the time at which the card was read.
  • a user specific reference might be in the form of a vehicle specific reference comprised of a plastic card or some corresponding data carrier, where the reference is comprised of a machine readable code contained on the card.
  • a vehicle specific reference may, of course, comprise the vehicle registration number.
  • the system may be designed to allow a parking attendant or traffic warden either to read the vehicle registration number or alternatively said machine readable code.
  • Figure 2 illustrates various telephones 8-11 which communicate with the central computer 6 to commence and terminate a parking period respectively.
  • the transmission may be a wireless transmission, as illustrated with telephones 8 and 9, or may be accomplished over a public switched network, as illustrated by telephones 10 and 11.
  • each parking zone may for instance be provided with a unique number which constitutes the telephone number that the user shall use in coupling his telephone with the system computer.
  • Each zone may be provided with a number for standard parking and one number for local residents' parking.
  • Other systems are also conceivable, for instance a system in which the user calls a direct number to the parking system computer and then enters a unique parking-zone number in the telephone.
  • zone 20 if the parking attendant then passes from zone 20 into zone 26, see Figure 3 , and there reads a vehicle code, the code will not be found in the control unit as being reported for parking, since no vehicle onsite parking list for zone 26 has been transferred to the control unit.
  • the control unit then asks for a vehicle onsite parking list from the computer 6.
  • the vehicle code is sent to the computer 6, which then pairs the vehicle code together with the zone 26 concerned, provided that the vehicle has been reported as parked in this zone. In this case, it is not only the vehicle onsite parking list for zone 26 that is sent to the control unit, but also corresponding lists for zones 20, 25, 27, 29, 30 for example which are then neighbouring zones.
  • the lists for zones 20, 25 will thus be updated at the same time.
